Abstract: Hyaluronidase is a key treatment against vascular complications of hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injection, but the degradation profile of HA in hyaluronidase is such and the comparison between an intra-arterial and subcutaneous part of hyaluronid is not studied.
Objective: To evaluate the degradation of HA in hyaluronidase and compare different intermediate methods in intra-arterial and subcutaneous testicular hyaluronidase injections.
Materials and methods: The authors observed the degradation of HA by hyaluronidase in vitro through microscopic particle analysis. Rabbit ears were used for the in vivo study. There were 2 control groups with arterial HA body emboli and 2 groups treated with hyaluronidase in different regions. Laser Doppler blood perfusion monitoring measurements were made at the time point of the society and biopsy on day 2.
Results: Almost all HAs were degraded in vitro at the 1-hour time point. Subcutaneous treatment with hyaluronidase showed better recovery of blood perfusion. Histology showed severe in the group of embolism and impact in their groups.
Conclusion: A complete degradation of the enzyme and complement with HA by hyaluronidase requires a certain time and subcutaneous treatment with hyaluronidase may be the best option.
